A friend of mine told me when he signed up for Xfinity, which at the time was all that was available in his village, since he had 5 TVs, putting cable boxes on all five got too expensive so they only installed cable boxes on two of the main TVs and Roku streamers on the rest using that Xfinity app. It worked for them. Even with that, the bill got too expensive after the initial offer so he switched 100% streaming with YouTubeTV since his wife needed all the channels and they have been happy with a bill less than half of what they were paying.
